Assertion (A) : Divergence theorem is applicable for both static and time varying fields.
Reason (R) : It is used to find enclosed charge from the knowledge of either \(\overline{D}\) or \(\overline{E}\).
Answer: A
Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion (option A). The divergence theorem is a mathematical identity for any vector field, so it holds for static and time-varying fields alike.
The reason gives its use: with Gauss's law, the flux of \(\overline{D}\) through a closed surface (or of \(\overline{E}\) times the permittivity) equals the enclosed charge, so the theorem is used to find that charge. Options B, C and D deny one of the statements.
